Candlebush

Cassia alata

Description:

Allow at least an 8 foot circle for this plant to grow in and then expect the branches to exceed that. Finally It has bloomed for me and it now has it's candles which the bumble bees love.

Habitat:

My Florida Butterfly garden.

Notes:

This is the bush which draws my Sulphur butterflies in along with other nectar plants. It is the leaves of this Cassia where they lay their eggs.
